Incidents
Weighted groceries settlement
In 2022 a class action lawsuit was filed against Walmart in Florida mainly alledging that Walmart falsely inflated product weight, mislabeled weight of bagged produce and overcharged for sold-by-weight clearance products.[1] While Walmart denies any wrongdoing they agreed to pay $45 million to settle the case in 2024.[2]
One-click sign up to paid service
When using the Walmart app on an iPhone or iPad, a large popup covering about 90% of the screen appears. It has a very large one-click signup button for Walmart+ with only a small 'x' in the corner to close the popup and return to the main app.
